The game incorporates many different mechanics and styles which in itself is impressive, but doesn’t really excel in any of them. It’s a ‘jack of all trades, master of none’ sort of a game.

Trials fusion has always been punishing for its hard difficulty level and The Awesome MAX Edition DLC adds to that. I highly recommend this game. It’s creative, its unique and most of all, it’s absolutely hilarious.

It’s a game I’ll be keeping in my collection for the foreseeable future, my girlfriend is even thinking about getting a copy as she’s a major Mario kart fan. It really is great fun.

While Ninja Battle Heroes plays better than it sounds, it’s still not as well rounded as other titles of this genre. It’s cheap, deeper than you’d expect and offers lots of replay value.

This game never pretends to be anything other than what it is. It’s a quaint yet challenging puzzle game that hit’s at the sadistic side of every gamer that gets a vicarious thrill out of torturing NPCs.

A predictably shallow experience that would probably please those who have exhausted the ever growing population of games of this ilk but if you want an engaging, fun puzzler with lots of variety look elsewhere.

Simply put, these are just great pinball tables with a ton of content that will keep bringing you back for more making the replayability of this pack very high.

Everything about it is fair/good, but nothing about it is overwhelmingly noteworthy. It’s just a solid game from top to bottom in a genre that’s gotten pretty lazy overall with clones, which this is not.

As always, those with a sense of nostalgia attached to the game will be the primary market, but even if you’ve never played/heard of Exerion before, the classic arcade gameplay that drives this simplistic but effective shooter remains as addictive and enjoyable as ever.

Super Chibi Knight is a very high-quality title and a worthy successor to Chibi Knight in every sense.

With the introduction of being able to play as a dinosaur, as well as amusing scenes of seeing two Velociraptors playing badminton and driving around on a motor bike, this game has a great combination of fun and entertainment that will keep you playing for days and days.

The inescapable grinding and lengthy visual novel sections were a mediocre downside. The unnecessary bathtub and massage mini games were lost on me, but I can see how other audiences would enjoy it.

The game is made for multiplayer as single player won’t even keep you occupied for an afternoon, and there are no bots in versus mode to make up for the lack of other players if your friends aren’t around.

This is the entire level up and RPG system. It is quite simply pathetic.

A fun and well made game but will either have you jumping for joy or reaching for the shotgun hiding behind your sofa.

Ultimately, Xeodrifter may not set everybody’s world on fire but those looking for an old-school action-adventure with a satisfying challenge and a warp-drive full of heart should look no further.

It has the potential to be both painfully depressing and outrageously infuriating, but Don’t Starve: Giant Edition works largely because of its potential to do so. It’s roguelike structure won’t be to everyone’s tastes, but for those with the patience to live by its rules and learn from their own mistakes, Klei Entertainment’s unique survive-em-up will deliver one of the most rewarding, tense and exciting gaming experiences of the year.

One of the best puzzle-platformers I have played all year.

Those with fond memories of 80s arcade gaming will most likely get something from this unabashedly and overtly 80s wrestler, but for the majority of gamers, Mat Mania Exciting Hour will provide very little beyond a stark reminder of how far video games have come in the past thirty years.

Fans of retro gaming will find something to like amidst its addictive core premise, but for modern gamers used to more consistent design, City Connection is a trip you can afford to avoid.

As it stands this game really has nothing to offer. No replay value, no options, no creativity, no innovation, lack of enemy types and scaling, no bosses, no further levels and with no highscores, no reason to play the game at all.

The hacker theme actually hurts it overall because it really doesn’t live up to the term as far as quality or difficulty. If anything it should be called “Entry Level Coder’s Beat”.

A fun game to play but it doesn’t take too long before it gets repetitive.

Will I be playing Overruled! again? No but if you can find someone who’s willing to play with you or by some miracle you find an online lobby then maybe give it a go, but don’t get your hopes up too high.

It’s far from the best RTS game on the market, and existing Planetary Annihilation players whose enthusiasm has waned are unlikely to find much here to reignite it.

It manages to maintain an even balance of being fun and being educational.

An enjoyable and surprisingly unique shooter. It might look like Xevious, and in many respects, play like Xevious, but with its distinctive cast of enemies (there are plenty of dinosaurs), its impressive upgrade system and its solid core mechanics, Nichibutsu’s ode to Xevious is a game worth seeking out if you consider yourself a fan of the shooter genre or of 80s arcade gaming in general.

It’s fun, it’s challenging and it’s fast paced making for an entertaining gaming session all round.
